Is a PTP Solid 12 (Lenco) worthy of a $5k cartridge
Lewm, I meant in the area of quietness and transparency belt drives may better the Lenco. Correct me if I am wrong.  
Is a PTP Solid 12 (Lenco) worthy of a $5k cartridge
Having owned a souped up Garrard 301 and listened to fairly souped up Lencos, I know what it does to music in general. That is definitely up my alley. I have not heard the PTP version which as per some is a more refined machine after the various m...

Hi Gilles130, I see multiple platter options for Lenco:1. The original platter2. Stainless steel platter shown on PTP website. It has holes on it3. Gun metal platter by puresound4. Original platter but double stacked Whats your take on all these o... 
Is a PTP Solid 12 (Lenco) worthy of a $5k cartridge
Hi, I have seen a few videos of Bob Wood's TT on youtube. They are okay. He also uses an SPU and couple of other vintage MMs. I am looking for opinion on whether a serious front end consisting of something like Ortofon Anna or Lyra Atlas on a PTP ... 
Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ?
No mat. Cartridge was Denon 301 
Micro Seiki BL-111, how good is it ?
I listened to the BL-111 at one of the stores here. Great resolution and dynamics. Very quiet background. But it didnt have the get up and go immediacy. It had a laidback attitude althroughout. Overall flow was somewhat mechanical. I dont know wha... 
"New" Thorens 124 sounds great, but...
Are you possibly using a lot of anti-skate ? Just lower the anti-skate or remove it if it is a string type. Then see if this anomaly continues.  
Review ATC SCM 40 A floorstanders.....finally
Having heard the ATC 40A, 50 active and 100 active. I love all of them but when you hear the 100, everything sounds so complete.

Interesting one JP. Yet another nod in favour of Mk3 :-) 
Loricraft Garrard 301 to Dobbins Sp10 Mk3 - What can I expect ?
Kodo The Beat is still in production. In fact Steve told me that now he has the Beat SE version which he has demoed at RMAF this year. The SE version is quite a bit more expensive though 
Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
@downunder selling your Mk3 could be an option if you find a better sounding TT. No other reason I guess. Listen to a Sp10-R and take your pick. 
Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
Because they have commercial interest in Technics or they have friends who have commercial interest in Technics current TTs. Nothing else. You dont expect industry insiders to speak such truths in general.

And last year, Pani thought that the Audio Teknika ART9 was the greatest cartridge ever. (My deliberate exaggeration of his opinion.) This year he is on to something else and has sold the ART9 He is only human like you and I. Why hinge your thinki... 
Loricraft Garrard 301 to Dobbins Sp10 Mk3 - What can I expect ?
Hi, I still use the Loricraft Garrard 301. It uses a stacked birch ply plinth. There are few modifications to it too1.Kokomo Mk2 bearing2. Woodsong Audio magnetic brake disc3. AudioSilente idler wheels4. Funkfirm Achromat 
Loricraft Garrard 301 to Dobbins Sp10 Mk3 - What can I expect ?
No, I am not buying the Beat. I am buying a mk3 in Dobbins plinth. Dobbins takes away the mk3 top plate and installs the entire motor in the plinth. For Beat I think he does more to the power supply and such.
